Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the restructuring of finely divided powders, of a granulometry lower than 100 microns ( ⁇ m), for example lower than 10 ⁇ m.
  • the present invention aims at a process of restructuring powders or finely divided particulate materials, of granulometries smaller than 100 microns, which enables to carry out the usual operations of restructuring, namely the supplying of finely divided powder in homogeneous form, as intimate mixtures of powders or of a separation and sorting of powders of different granulometry and/or types.
  • the particulate materials to be restructured are placed in a bath of a cryogenic liquid which is inert with respect to said particulate materials, the operation of restructuring per se is carried out, after which the cryogenic liquid is removed, for example by evaporation.
  • the decanting speed is 10 times faster than in the case of a liquid such as water, in view of the low viscosity of the pure cryogenic liquids.
  • the phenomenon can be accelerated by centrifugation.
  • the granular particles are not agglomerated, it is possible to find filters which allow the passage of 0.01 micron particles but stop the 0.1 micron particles.
  • a powder consisting of very finely divided particles is dispersed in a cryoscopic liquid, followed by stirring, settling and extracting of the liquid, for example by natural or forced evaporation.
  • the powder collected is free of aggregates and is perfectly fluid, which enables it to be exploited, for example after filtration, without risks of plugging or coalescing, in particular in processes of projection.
  • the particles Placed in a cryogenic or cryoscopic liquid, the particles are separated and powders of different types can easily be homogeneously and intimately mixed.
  • Intimate mixtures of particles of alumina and zirconia of a granulometry lower than 0.2 ⁇ m have been prepared in liquid nitrogen, the homogenisation of the suspension being accelerated by the application of weak ultrasonic waves.
  • the process according to the invention also finds application with polymeric compounds, such as polyethylene or polystyrene: placed in a cryogenic bath which is inert towards polymeric particles, the latter present a higher number of available free radicals than in a suspension medium at room temperature, which promotes stable reassociations when the cryogenic liquid is evaporated.
  • polymeric compounds such as polyethylene or polystyrene
  • the mixture of such polymeric particles with mineral or organic pigments may also be mentioned.
  • the density of the suspension increases. If a thick suspension is placed on a hot support (with respect to the cryogenic liquid), the suspension does not contact the support as long as some liquid remains, following the phenomenon of calefaction. This phenomenon can be used to distribute powder on a surface support in a regular and homogeneous manner.
